exsilium;; secrety identity-related headcanon coming out.

[umadrobin]

Can't you just leave this alone, mun? Really, I put up with a lot from you, but now you're really starting to push some very, very personal buttons.

[ ... Yes, Red X sounds legitimately angry about this. That almost never happens. ]

Don't go there, mun. I'm one of the hardest guys to piss off you'll ever meet, but you're getting really close.

[She just comes to stand behind him, wrapping her arms around his chest. She can sense the anger, frustration and even the slightest hint of fear radiating from him. So she tries to project some warmth and comfort to soothe him a bit.]

[eyecontact]

[ :T

just :T at you. why you drag this out to make this like awful soap opera identity reveal? Joey would love to know he still has family around. DON'T YOU WANT HUGS, X. DON'T YOU.]

[skirtcladgunner]

[...it's scary how she can relate to bits and pieces of that. She doesn't even have a snarky mark to use as a coverup for her discomfort.]

[ Red X places a hand on top of hers, but he's obviously upset. And that's not a common sight for him at all. ]

[umadrobin]

[ Relax, kid, it's D_M, nbd But... sure, he would, but the overwhelming majority opinion in his mind is that he should stay dead. ]

[umadrobin]

Yeah, yeah, I'll take the sympathy. Blondie didn't have anything to say about it?

[erodedbutterfly]

As if he's going to listen now. You know he won't, if he hasn't already.

[Oh for the love of god, who isn't Slade a touchy subject for? Sheesh.]

[umadrobin]

Yeah. I'd rather be a bionic monkey. Or four years younger than Robin.

[skirtcladgunner]

It would be nice if parents who actually gave a fuck were more common, huh? [Even though she knows she'll find out the contrary later on. It doesn't heal the scars that have been inflicted for years on end. It doesn't excuse the neglect.]

Oh, please. You and I both know that blondie has a lot to say about it. Why wouldn't she?

[umadrobin]

I'm probably the last person anyone would take advice from, anyway.

[ He told you they weren't so different, Terra. ]

[changelingdude]

Can't argue with that dude.

Welcome to the club of muses who's headcanon is way cooler then what the DC Universe comics did to them.

[umadrobin]

Oh, Slade gives plenty of fucks, just not about anything good.

[ Facepalms. ]

Yeah, mun just now saw the notif.

[umadrobin]

At least you're in the comics. And if my mun's headcanon is right, I never will be. I'm dead.

[erodedbutterfly]

[Oh, she remembers. But the similarities bother her just as much as they comfort her.]

Why? Because you've done terrible things? [Except it doesn't sound very much like she's making a snipe at him...]

[umadrobin]

Depends on who you ask. I could save the lives of Robin's team five more times each and he'd still probably never get over the whole 'you stole my suit' thing.

[ Of course he knows what you did, Terra. Kind of hard to miss a huge earthquake, a new volcano sprouting up out of nowhere, and probably a tsunami or two for good measure. But this is still Red X we're talking about here. ]

[skirtcladgunner]

If it's not good, then it obviously doesn't count. A parent should take care of their children.

[A sympathetic smile.] Sorry, she's not in the best of moods.

[feel_nevermore]

[Without breaking contact, she moves to stand in front of him. She's holding one of his hands in hers and her free hand is moving up to cup his face through the mask.]

Do you ever regret telling me?

[changelingdude]

That's what I mean, that version of Grant was once upon a time...

...well and there was that whole Blackest Night thing but...well that wasn't cool either.

[umadrobin]

Kid, after what they did to Harley Quinn, I'm not holding my breath.

[erodedbutterfly]

He always was on the obsessive side. [Oh, look. You even got her to crack a grin. She's still in a bad mood, though.]

[changelingdude]

Hey if Jason Todd could get....way too many chances...

I'd say you're better off really.

[erodedbutterfly]

...sorry things have been so bad for you.
